The Division of Plasma Physics of the Association of Asia Pacific Physics Societies (AAPPS-DPP) has beensuccessfully organizing annual conferences on plasma physics in the Asia Pacific region for the past 6 years. The 1st
Asia-Pacific Conference on Plasma Physics (AAPPS-DPP2017) was held during September 18-23, 2017 inChengdu, China (http://aappsdpp.org/DPP2017rogramlatest/index.html) followed by AAPPS-DPP2018(http://aappsdpp.org/DPP2018/index.html) during November 12-17, 2018 in Kanazawa, Japan andAAPPS-DPP2019 (http://aappsdpp.org/DPP2019/index.html) during November 4-8, 2019 in Hefei, China.
